Bound to Kill: Suck Magazine

In 2016, Suck Magazine was profiled by The Atlantic in an article titled “The Best Magazine on the Early Web,” where Anna Weiner wrote that it was “regularly credited as the progenitor of a certain style of Internet writing: fast-paced, snarky, and merrily irreverent; simultaneously condescending and self-deprecating.”

Suck.com was nominated for Webby Awards in both 1997 and 1999, and a book titled Suck: Worst-Case Scenarios in Media, Culture, Advertising, and the Internet was published in 1997 with thirty-two rants, essays, and parodies taken from Suck.

Travis Anton’s company BoxTop did some work for Suck in the 90s, which is discussed in Bound to Kill: The Untold Story of Delia Day.
